Long lost

So, I know it has been a really long time since I posted any updates.  We were so busy doing clay and working on starting the mural that I have been a big slacker as a photographer.  I apologize.  In my defense, with the growing belly, I am moving a lot slower these days too! 

In both 3rd and 4th grade, we made a clay project.  Most of them have made their way out of the kiln for the second time.  Third grade got to see their finished projects today.  It is always exciting to see how your work looks when it comes out of the kiln!

They did a really great job.  I am always impressed with what this great group of kids can create!

We also starting working on our mural today.  A few weeks ago, we started creating sketches.  The students voted on their favorite design.  The winning design was by David P. in 4th grade.  David has been working on sketching his design on a piece of plywood that we covered with gessoed canvas.  Today, half of the 3rd grade art club worked on painting the stripes in the background while everyone else was working on origami.

This is going to be a slow process, but I can't wait to see how it looks in the end!
